Shark Week starts this Sunday
Just in time for summerDiscovery Channel’s longest running television stunt, Shark Week, returns to our shores again for summer. Only it's bigger, better and snappier than before.
Feared. Admired. Hunted. Threatened. Misunderstood... the shark is of course one of the ocean’s apex predators.
Shark Week gets you re-acquainted with these magnificent creatures of the sea -- from the science of shark behaviour, to amazing survival stories and up-close encounters with Great Whites.
Intelligent, graceful and an undeniably efficient predator, sharks are a part of life for the millions of Australians who share their environment, especially in summer.
??Shark Week is hosted by Aussie rugby league legend and fishing expert Andrew ‘ET’ Ettingshausen. For the the first time this year it will broadcast 24x7 entirely in HD.
The program includes Air Jaws Apocalypse ?this Sunday, December 2, 7.30pm, with photographer, author, and shark expert Chris Fallows embarking on a quest to capture the one iconic shot that truly defines the great white shark.
